50 Best Bar & Grill near Highland Heights

“We hosted a get together here and had a great time! Candace was so great to work with prior to the event and helped us organize drink tickets and a space for us for food. The day of the event, Brandy and Tommy (the bartenders) took great care of us and made sure everyone had a great time. This place is a hidden gem up on the hill with great staff, great bar selections, and a great atmosphere! We will be back.“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“Classic Americana and textbook friendly neighborhood bar-restaurant! Newtown Village Tavern pizza is everything LaRosa’s wishes it was and it is the superior “Cincinnati Pie” in every way. Cold beer on tap, sports on the tube. What more could you want?“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

“This is a great place with great food and people“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“Great Service. Great Food. Coldest beer in town.“

“Burgers are insanely delicious 🤤! Walking distance 😉 Belly happiness with a staggering amount of beer! ☺️😊☺️“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

“I love going to Indian Mound Cafe. It is my primary destination for cheeseburgers, and I am NEVER disappointed. The onion rings are outstanding as well, which usually is not the case at most restaurants. There are no soggy or greasey onion rings at the Mound. The are crisp and delicious.

The owner, Sheila, is a truly lovely person who makes you feel like your business is important, but not as important to her as you are as a person. Whenever I stop in, Sheila greats me with a smile. On more than one occasion, when I have been having a bad day or two and stoped in to eat, Sheila always asks how I am. And not in a superficial or condescending way, but like someone who really does give a hoot.

As an older adult who spends a consiserable amount of time alone, it is heartwarming to think that someone is glad to see me. It is even more touching that someone is honestly concerned about my well being. But that seems to be the case with many of the customers who come to the Indian Mound Cafe. It really is one of those places where the owner and staff know the majority of clientele and treat them as more than just a source of income, but like friends.

As if those atributes aren't enough, there aren't a lot of places at this point where you can have a sit-down meal cooked to order w a soft drink and tip for under $20. I tend to make it in at least several times a month, and I typically bring folks with me. One of my regular dining companions raves about the vegetable soup which, like all the soups, is homemade. I, personally, keep trying to stop in early enough on a Thursday to try the sliders special, but no luck so far--they are always sold out.

One more thing, there is an excellent Central American bakery a couple of doors down from the Mound on the same side of the street. It is well worth stopping in and grabbing some delicious (and extremely budget friendly) baked goods to take home or enjoy as desert after eating at the Mound. The pastries are not super sweet, which I like. But of course, that just means I want more! And at the prices they charge, I can walk out with a good sized bag for between $10 and $12. It is one of those hidden gems that I really enjoy turning people on to. Bon Appetit.“

“wonderful place to eat some good food and chill on the river“

“They were so accomidating...owner was soo cool...awesome meade 4 my husband on tap and in bottles...will be back!“

“Lee the bartender was transcendent!!! 5*****“

“First time here, food is great, killer patio, plenty of seating, and most importantly......the service! Ask for Leila......or Lee-la, or Leighlu. Or quickly ask for Wee-wa, and they'll probably not notice and still sit you with Leila, and at that point you'll have tricked them prior to getting a delicious meal! She's the coolest!“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“Customer service incredible Drinks delicious and the food great them Greens was theeeeeeee best 10/10 recommend“

“great food and very generous portions“

“Kelly is the star night bartender, give this women a raise. Excellent service and attitude. She gave amazing service all night long. I didn’t see her stop moving once. She is your guy’s powerhouse on the night shift from what I seen! Give her praise and lots of love for her patience and grace with customer service and the drinks were spot on! Great food Number 3 for me!“

“Good old neighborhood joint; but really fun place; great service; great burgers; Owner Joe is super helpful and friendly. Each visit I meet terrific local folks as well. Come over folks. l“

“We visited for the first time and were very pleased. The bar is quite big with plenty of places to sit. They have a bunch of bar games too. We were there for a live performance by Tin Hat Cowboys and they were a great time. We also tried some food and it was better than expected. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back.“

“Very friendly & great service!“

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“Great staff and leadership“

“Food was good. The service was excellent, but the alcohol was definitely diluted with water.“

“My family had a retirement party for me last Friday. Sam, our hostess was wonderful and the staff that was helping made sure the food kept coming, and Sam kept the drinks flowing!😃. The party room was perfect. I had a wonderful time!“

“Really cool vibe and nice strong drinks 🍹 cheers“

“great place great bar maid“

“I’ll be honest it’s not a bad spot to drink at and the owner has always been super kind to me. The food is decent and I’d recommend getting the platter after drinking on a night out if the friers are still on. I personally get the chicken tenders with nacho cheese and the occasional mozzarella sticks. Karaoke is fun and I’ve been a pool shark since mid-college. Rom even taught me how to play pool! Location was such a huge thing for me back then and it was a prime bar living in Aspen Pines. Now I unfortunately do not approve of certain things and numerous people who they chose to keep and allow to work behind the bar top. Especially with their track records. It is still a dive/pool bar at the end of the day so I just choose to avoid it at all costs now. As I was told as a little girl “birds of a feather do flock together.” which just means I’m just not in the same flock as them and I am A-OKAY with that currently. Plus there are plenty of other bars to attend in both Ohio and KY. It’s just a shame because I did really like it at one point in time. 💙 Just know if you’re down for a good time they do know how to party and I will always root for them at a safe distance. Much love. XOXO, KAT 💙😊💙“

“great place great people.“

“Just did great place friendly folks“

“Woah. The signature chicken tenders are unreal. The fries were great and the view outside is classic. Bartender was awesome as well. Thanks guys for a great experience!“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“fantastic place great food“

“Great food great leadership would highly recommend“

“EVERYTHING. This MoFo deserves ALL the stars! Great wings, BEST FRIES EVER! - yeah, I said E V E R. The wedge salad tasted like they picked it from the Garden of Eden, made with the world’s best house made ranch dressing- they should bottle that Sh!T. & My drink was top-notch, served by great bartenders in a cozy brick pub, like if Cheers had a “study”. My entree was the Beef on Weck sandwich. All I can say is WHAT THE WECK WAS THAT?! So juicy! So delicious! The cooks in the back were raised RIGHT. Best kept secret in Cincinnati for sure. Stop searching for a restaurant and go here! I’d right this Pony ANYTIME (chef’s kiss)“

“Food was excellent for everything but the bread pudding. It was overpriced, over cooked and tough. I definitely don’t recommend this as a dessert choice. Ribs and steaks were delicious and service great.“

“Went to arnold last night for the first time and we had a blast
The food was fantastic, so was the entertainment.The place was packed, but still, the staff did a great job keeping pace.We're definitely planning to come back

We did! We came back just as good as the first time!! They let ask go upstairs to see the spooky parts!!“

“shout out to bar maid for making my sister feel good!“

“Surprisingly wide range of food options. Had a small company Christmas party there last week. The beer selection was good,but this place is a restaurant/ bar vs a craft brewery, which is fine by me. The parking was easy also. Everyone had fun, the pool table was in nice shape, the darts were good also. We'll be back“

“Food and Service Great! However, I was Staying @ the Radisson & No One Mentioned There Is A Breakfast Buffet. No One Mentioned the Lounge Is No Longer A Bar. Meaning No Lunch, Dinner, Nor Alcoholic Beverages. Just Serves Breakfast Only.“

“The food was amazing the staff was wonderful . Definitely will be back“

“Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere love the bartender!!“

“5 out of 5!!!me and my friends doing the bourbon trail came all the way from North Carolina up to visit. Awesome wings, awesome staff, and most importantly awesome sports on the tv’s. Definitely will be going back. Thanks for doing Carolina proud with yalls Carolina gold bbq sauce.“

“We loved our food at APG! The wait staff was awesome and there was no wait!! Can't wait to go again!“

“We ate there last night before seeing Mac McAnally. We got there early and ordered food and beer as soon as we walked in. It was not busy but quickly filled up. We received our food within 20 minutes and it was very good. We ate and had a total of 3 beers. The total bill with a generous tip was less than $50

The secret was to order food and beer as soon as you walk in. We saw other people that were waiting a longer time because they came in when the bar was busy.

There is outside and inside seating. This was our first time here but we will be back.“
